With Chip technology on the cartridges this is more than just a small nuisance
for refillers and recyclers. You don't have to be too cynical to question
whether manufacturers do this deliberately to make it more difficult to
recycle their cartridges and force end users to purchase new cartridges
The Evolution of Chip Technology
The emergence of cartridge computer chips has forever changed the toner
cartridge aftermarket. Never before had there existed such an absolute "off"
switch capable of positively locking out the aftermarket. Since their first
widespread emergence in 1996, cartridge chips have exponentially grown in
sophistication. Today, OEMs are utilizing the latest ASIC (Application
Specific Integrated Circuit) designs, as well as cutting-edge encoding
technologies. More information about the evolution of chip technology and
Computer Chip Usage in Toner Cartridges will be added as and when we have
it.
